Spinal Decompression MRI Results
MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), like x-rays, take pictures of the structures and tissues within our bodies. X-rays are well suited to image the dense structures of the body like bones and cartilage; whereas, MRIs are much better suited to image the less dense tissues in our bodies, such as discs, muscles and nerves. Since disc…
